Nines, The

Aroview: Exigent thriller commenting on the realities of Hollywood, told by way of three connected stories inside the minds of an actor, a screenwriter and a game designer - all played by Ryan Reynolds.

Exploring issues of modern identity and alternate realities through the prism of existentialist mystery, this is certainly a stimulating, if somewhat confusing, intellectual exercise, and despite some moments of mystical mumbo-jumbo and sophomoric pretensions to loftier ideas, is satirically savvy and thought-provoking enough to engage the hearts and minds of adventurous audiences.
